The Truth on Kashmir and Terrorism in India

The Truth on Kashmir and Terrorism in India

                              India has been the most terrorized country in the world

-US State Department Report on Terrorism

   

India Is an Extraordinary Democracy

 

C                     Our current Ambassador to India, the Hon. Mr. Blackwill, while being a Harvard faculty and briefing candidate Bush in 2000 on foreign affairs at his Texas ranch, asked him why he was so interested in India.  Mr. Bush replied, AA billion people in a functioning democracy!  Can you believe it?  Can you believe it?@  (from the Times of India.)

 

C                     On 12-21-01, the British High Commissioner (Ambassador) to India, the Hon. Mr. Rob Young told the press that the British government A... never asked India to exercise restraint@ because AIndia is a highly responsible democracy@, and that ABritain supports India=s right to self-defense.@

 

C                     US Congress passed a resolution congratulating India for successful elections in 1999.  Of 400 votes cast, 4 were opposed.  The tiny opposition included Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA) and Rep. Don Burton (R-IN), who have spoken out on behalf of khalistan terrorists.

 

 

What is the Kashmir Issue?

 

C                     UN Security Council resolutions 38-40, and particularly the resolution of August 13, 1948, said that Pakistan had attacked Kashmir, and ordered Pakistan to withdraw its forces and its tribals.  Pakistan has yet to obey UN Security Council and withdraw from lands (now called POK, Pak Occupied Kashmir) controlled illegally.

 

C                     Recently released documents reveal that in 1948, the then US Secretary of State Gen. George C. Marshall told the pro-Pak British that Kashmir=s accession with India was legal and final as far as US was concerned.

 

C                     In 1952, the Kashmir legislature, elected in elections recognized by observers as free and fair, with 100% of the legislators Muslim, voted to ratify Kashmir=s accession with India.

 

C                     Pakistan gave away large part of the POK to China, which now claims those lands as its own.

 

 

Pakistan is a State-Sponsor of Terrorism

 

C                     In April 1993, then CIA director James Woosley at an open Senate hearing said, A... Pakistan, while not yet on the State Department's list of state sponsors of terrorism,@ but is Aon the brink@.

 

C                     In December 1999, the Director of CIA George Tenet and State Department Coordinator for Counterterrorism Michael Sheen testified before a Senate subcommittee that US has evidence that Pakistan is a state-sponsor of terrorism against India.

 

C                     In 2000, State Department=s report on terrorism described Pakistan=s official involvement in terrorism against India, but fell short of adding Pakistan to list of countries sponsoring terrorism because that would have automatically triggered severe sanctions against an old cold-war ally.

 

C                     In 2000, a bipartisan Congressional commission on terrorism recommended to the State Department that sanctions be imposed on Pakistan for its role in terrorism, but this report was ignored.

 

C                     The British government in Spring 2001 put several Pakistan-supported organizations openly engaged in terrorism on the official list of terrorist organizations, to be followed later by the US.

 

C                     Major political parties in Pakistan and Pak media have repeatedly asked Pak governments over the years to break bonds with terrorists and get out of the Kashmir issue, because supporting terrorists has resulted only in increasing Talibanization of Pakistan.

 

C                     Benazir Bhutto, ex-Pak Prime Minister, has said that ISI (Pakistani government=s intelligence service) is a force onto itself, and she had no knowledge of what ISI was doing when she was PM.

 

C                     On 11-21-01, the Hon. Mr. Robert D. Blackwill, US Ambassador to India, told the press that Pakistan-supported individuals involved in killings in Kashmir are terrorists and that AThey are not freedom fighters.  No country will be permitted to provide sanctuaries to terrorists.@  He made similar comments again on 2-27-02.

 

C                     On 11-29-01, the British Parliament was told by the Foreign Office Minister that the British government has told the Pakistani government to cease support to terrorists.

 

C                     Pak Government=s direct and obvious involvement in terrorism against India over decades has resulted in 50,000 Hindus being amongst 70,000 innocent civilians killed and 500,000 Hindus fled Kashmir in terror; world has been silent about this ethnic cleansing of Hindus from Kashmir.

 

C                     Pak does not have just Hindu blood on its hands.  Pak press reported that one of the first things General Musharraf did after grabbing power in Nov. 1999 coup was to shut down a Pak commando unit being trained by CIA to go after bin Laden.  If only bin Laden had been caught in 2000 ...

 

C                     Pakistan, which created, nurtured and protected Taliban, has claimed that Taliban is not terrorist.

 

C                     Pakistan press reported in Dec. 2001 that Pak dictator Musharraf was a Director of Rabita Trust, a terrorist organization masquerading as a charity, and US had to warn him to step down before adding this organization to a terrorist list.

 

C                     Pak v. US:  CBS News quoted numerous workers to the effect that Osama bin Laden had received his kidney dialysis at their Pak military hospital on the eve of 9-11.

 

C                     Pak v. US:  NY Times reported that Pak had to send airplanes to rescue its army fighting US coalition in Afghanistan; when asked, the Pentagon issued only non-denial denials.  CNN reported on 1-12-02, that 50 Pak soldiers, arrested at Kandahar, admitted to fighting under Pak officers.

 

C                     Regarding Musharraf=s promises about Pak eliminating terrorism, NY Times said that he had to redefine Pakistan's sense of itself Aafter two decades of drift into lawlessness and violence.@

C                     President Bush, British PM Tony Blair and French President Jacques Chirac, have all demanded that Musharraf act on his promises to root out Pak terrorism against India.

 

C                     The Daily Telegraph (London) said in its lead story on 2-23-02 that British and American special forces have joined Indian troops to hunt down Osama bin Laden in one of Kashmir=s remote areas Athat are nearly impossible for the Indian Army to police@.  Bin Laden is believed to be hiding there with the help of Harkat-ul-Mujahideen, one of Pak terrorist organizations.

 

C                     An editor of the Karachi Herald wrote that Sheikh Ahmed Omar Saeed, the alleged mastermind behind the abduction of Mr. Daniel Pearl, indicted in US in 1994, operated in Pakistan freely since his release from an Indian prison in exchange for hostages aboard a hijacked Indian airliner.

 

C                     One week after Omar Sheikh turned himself in to ISI for protection, the Pak military intelligence, Pak lied that the police had arrested him on the eve of Musharraf=s visit to the US, and ABC publicized Pak lies that India was behind the kidnapping of Mr. Pearl.

 

C                     NY Times reported on 2-26-02 that a Pak Army/ISI Brigadier had a role in nurturing Jaish‑e‑ Mohammed, the terrorist organization behind the kidnapping and murder of Mr. Pearl, and suggested that investigations in killing of Pearl would reveal a great deal about ties between terrorists and ISI.

 

C                     Newsweek reported on 3-5-02 that Pearl=s killers might have been agents of Pak government=s ISI.

 

C                     NY Times and the Boston Globe have reported that 4,000 Pak army officers were involved in Pak ISI conducting terrorism against India.

 

 

The Ram Temple and Communal Riots in India

 

C                     Hindus believe that God himself takes birth on earth in times of dire need, and that Ram and Krishna were such human incarnations of God.  Places of these births of God are especially holy for Hindus.

 

C                     Muslim conquerors destroyed over 5,000 temples in North India, including those at the sites holiest for Hindus. They built mosques there instead, which have no particular significance to Islam.  In order to reconstruct their holiest temple, Hindu organizations have offered compromises to Muslims.

 

 

Bangladesh is also a State-Sponsor of Terrorism

 

C                     The world is also silent about harrowing abuse and ethnic cleansing of Hindus from Bangladesh.  Amnesty International has publicized horrible atrocities against Hindu women in Bangladesh, such as gang-rapes in front of their fathers and husbands, resulting in floods of Hindu refugees from that country.  Bangladeshi government does nothing beyond denying facts.
